Mike's company got so big that he moved to Portland (from Central Point, Oregon). He setup a rather large facility there and expanded the Copy II series to the C64/128, PC, and Atari ST. Mike was a hands on CEO. He actually worked with me and gave me a few idea when I made Copy II 64/128. Mike was very involved with the copying laws, and was very pro-backup and anti-pirate. Mike moved more and more towards tools and less towards copying. Finally, all of the copy programs were terminated and there was only a focus tools where they ended up licensing anti-virus programs to Microsoft and Symantec. Later, Mike sold the whole thing to Symantec and retired. Mike was a great guy - a hacker type that was personable. I worked (under contract) at CPS for perhaps a year and did a bunch of things. It was great because the head quarters was literally down the street from my house, so I often times went back and forth between CPS and home. You could get into the building 24 hrs a day and work whenever you wanted to on projects. For the Option Board, the TC was just a glorified disk controller where we could adjust the clocking window. We could generate FM, MFM, or GCR data with it. The image file format was a header of track lengths, timing offsets to generate the same timing data, offsets to the track data, and the track data. The format changed a few times. I worked on some of the C64 stuff for it because that is what I knew. I don't know who owns the copyrights to it all, but I would assume that would be Symantec still."
